Gangs of London season 3 plot

Gangs of London season 2 left plenty of threads hanging in the air for a third season to continue.

The latest run ended with the revelation that Lale (Narges Rashidi) is still alive and appears to be entering an uneasy alliance with Pakistani kingpin Asif Afridi (Asif Raza Mir).

They both have their sights set on reclaiming power in London's underworld, which could lead to a thrilling – and no doubt gory – showdown between themselves, the Wallaces and the Dumanis if the show returns.

Season 3 will see the return of Joe Cole's Sean Wallace to the frontlines after taking a back seat at the start of season 2.

The official synopsis reads: “Former undercover cop turned gangster Elliot navigates his new role as a top-level criminal alongside the Dumanis, but the spiking throws their operations into disarray. The Wallaces, Luan, Lale, and the street gangs face devastating consequences as personal vendettas collide with professional power struggles bleeding into violent turf wars.

"In the ruthless fight for control of London’s criminal underworld, no one is safe. This was no accident — it was a calculated attack. But who’s pulling the strings?”
